TARDIES.

To show how unnecessary even this
number, small as compared with same
month last year, it is enough to say
that all the tarGies in the 7th grade
were caused BY one scholar. The ban
ner grade for punctuality is the sec~
ond. For best attendance the fourth.
PROGRESS.
The progress of the grades is more
satisfactory as whole than that Of
last year at this time. The first quar-.
terly examinations will be held on the
last week before the holidays, anC
from what | can gather the genera
average scholarship will show an i'm
provement upon year ago.

Gov. Taylor, in short talk to the
county school superintendents the
other day, said he never did favor the
Blair bill; but, II have said that if
there is a surplus in the national treas
ury, it could not be turned into a bet
ter channel than into the help of the
public schools of the state" And we
don't think so either. Who does? =?

that the conflict between labor and

interest in man and his destiny, and
in wiser modes Of living, takes pos

that the upward struggle of the
masses will take the form of a
quiet, gratifying progress. Happily
there are signs on every hand that
the higher ideals are winning allie

zeal economy are beginning to ad-
nit that man, rather than wealth
merely, ia the subject of their
science. AS this idea gaius general

changes not only in ways of looking

Wouldn1t be Down.

There are men who are so un-
accommodating in the way of Civ
ing information to strangers that
the severest punishment would be
TOO mild for them. An old fellow
went into an office and asked a man
who sat scribbliDg, if MIR. Pods
worth had come down.
"Not yet"
"Know what time he'll be DOWN.
Cant say that l do"
Regular man in his habits, Is be

Then you ought to know when
he will be down"
The man, without making any
reply, continued to scrlbble; and
the old fellow, after waiting pa
tiently and then impatiently dur
ing an hour at least. said:
"Seems to be long time in com
ing"
"Who's that?"
"POdsWOrtD, OF CouSe.

Eyes. Can't you give me some
information as to when he will be
DOWN.
The man made no reply, having,
it seemed, thought of something
that needed to be scrubbed down
with rapidity.3 Nearly another
hour passed, and the old fellow,
now thoroughly worn out said:
Look here, it don't seem that
he's coming"
"Wh0?"
"Podswortb, of course"

Monteagle Assembly and Summer Schools.

Assembly and Summer Schools. |
The announcement of the Mont
eagle Summer Schools. for the sea
son of 1887, July 9th to August
18th, shows that arrangements
have been made for nineteen
schools, including more than forty
different subjects of study, to be
taught by about thirty instructors.
Besides this, there are three courses
Of lectures on educational subjects,
intended especially for the members
of the schools, and a series of edu-
cational conferences on important
subjects.
The assembly program runs con-
temporaneously with the schools.
The IL o'clock hour and the even
ings are given to its lectures and
entertainments, and at these hours
there are no school exercises. To
all these the pupils of the schools
have free admission.
The schools are under the man
agement Of an executive commit
tee, of which Prof. J. ]. D Kinds of
Lebanon, Tenn, is chairman, and
Or. VIM, Baskerville and Prof. A
D. Wharton, both Of Nashville.
Tenn, are the other members.
Those desiring further information
may address either OF these gentle
men.
The following quotation from the
school circular will give an idea OF
the object Of the enterprise:
These schools offer to teachers
and intellectual people a place
where they can spend the heated
term of each year, com bining study
with rest and recreation in a de
lightful and inexpensive mountain
resort, tree from all social dissipa
ton. Each department is in the
hands Of specialist, and the work
of the schools is of the highest or
| der. The scope of the schools vii
be extended and new subjects viii
be added as fast as the means a
the command of the committee viii
permit.
The schools have a double pur-
pose: 1. The training of teachers
Each class is intended to be a mod
ell one, not only imparting instruc
tion, but also illustrating the bes
, methods of teaching. ?. The Civ
ing of higher instruction and offer
ing the pupils facilities which ar
not within their reach at home
T This end is attained partly by tn
general class work and partly b
private instru ctiOn.

In these days, when honorary til
ties were so common and so cheap,
it would be well if more of their
possessors wore them as unaffected
" as did the hero of the following
anecdote:
He was a worthy shoemaker, who
by diligence and thrift had acquired
quite a good property, and who
had retired from his useful employ
ment and was now enjoylnging a
mature age of leisure. From his
digniied and judicial demeanor he
had gained among his friends the
title Of Judge"
Once an eminent stranger was
visiting the town, and the citi,
zens were making an effort to show
off the place and give reception to
the visitor.
The Judge" was on the commit
tee Of entertainment. The strap
ger, hearing him called Judge
thought to do graceful thing by
asking: Judge, are you on tbs
bench now?2
The Judge turned on him s
good naturned face, and replied
Why bless you, 1 hain't waxed :

Companion.

As our readers know, perhaps
there has been for months social
whisky drinking association ID
Winchester, known as the Cumher-
land Club. Applicants for member
ship were received and the initia-
ton fee placed 50 their credit, with
the understanding that they were
to be drank out. Last week the
club incontinently dissolved. Judge
Smallman, before whom the case
was brought, gave its managers a
fine of 5000 each and two months
in Jail. The ''brethren" threw up
the sponge quick when the judge
got after them. The fines were
paid but a petition has gone to the
governor to cancel the Jail penalty.
The country has long prayed for
such Judge and will sustain him
in his efforts in behalf of good
government.-Fayetteville Observ-
